Los Angeles, November 8 - Marvel is once again winning the battle at the box office despite the negative critics' reviews. The latest superhero offering, "Eternals", debuted with $71 million in the 3-day weekend at the domestic box office, though it fell short of fellow Marvel pics, "Black Widow" ($80.4M), and "Shang-Chi" ($75.4M).

"Eternals" scored the 4th biggest opening weekend debut during the covid-19 pandemic era, edging "Fast & Furious 9" ($70M), and James Bond "No Time To Die" ($55.2M). "Venom: Let There Be Carnage", which was made by Sony Pictures but based on a Marvel comic creation, remains on the top spot with $90.1 million at the domestic opening weekend.



Internationally, "Eternals" took the big opening of $90.7 million, bringing its global haul to an impressive $161.7 million. The superhero film is playing in several major markets including South Korea, the United Kingdom, France, Mexico, India, and Australia.

Among the top overseas contributors, South Korea is leading with $14.4 million, followed by the United Kingdom ($7.1M), France ($6.7M), Mexico ($5.7M), and Australia ($5M). In India, the Marvel movie performed very well in the opening weekend, despite the two-way clash with Sooryavanshi and Annaatthe, and nabs estimated a gross total of ₹ 22.2 crores ($2.99M).

Directed by Oscar winner, Chloe Zhao, "Eternals" is the lowest-rated Marvel film on Rotten Tomatoes with only 48% of reviews marked as positive. Audiences were also lukewarm on what Zhao cooked up, giving the film a so-so "B" CinemaScore, which is also a low point for the MCU.

"Eternals" could see a steep drop in the box office in its second or third weekend and will heavily depend upon the word of mouth. It boasts an ensemble cast that includes Angelina Jolie, Gemma Chan, Salma Hayek, Richard Madden, and Kit Harrington in prominent roles.
